The existential threat of nuclear war is no longer a Cold War memory. With nine countries armed with around 15,000 atomic bombs up to 53 times stronger than those dropped in the Second World War, the stakes are arguably higher.
Ahead of the International Day against Nuclear Tests on August 29, we met up British atomic veterans who were present at test sites in Australia and the Pacific, to find out what it’s like to experience a nuclear bomb explosion up close.
While most people know about the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, fewer are aware that an additional 2,000 atomic bombs were detonated after World War II and tested on hundreds of thousands of young soldiers to prepare them for nuclear war.

Thanks for share its extremely important that their stories are saved so that future generations can learn from them. "Your Red Majesty shouldn't purr so loud," Alice said, rubbing her eyes, and addressing the kitten, respectfully, yet with some severity. "You woke me out of oh! such a nice dream! And you've been along with me, Kitty——all through the Looking-Glass world. Did you know it, dear?"
There was a little boy stood on a burning log, rubbing his hands with glee. He said, "Oh Mother England, did you light my smile; or did you light This fire under me? One day I'll be a minstrel in the gallery. And paint you a picture of the queen. And if sometimes I sing to a cynical degree - It's just the nonsense that it seems.
What does a nuclear bomb explosion smell like?

Nuclear weapons were tested in the Thar desert in India in 1998. Years later, I came upon reports of children born in villages in the region miles away, with deformations and low mortality rates, and high incidence of cancer.
It is sad and shows the effects of radiation which can kill even miles away.
I think all nuclear weapons should be placed under the jurisdiction of the UN.

imaginary feeling: none. because one's life would be over before having time to feel anything. In a way, this is the best way to go; in another, it's better "morire de morte lenta' [to die a slow death] and experience it. In either case, as Duchamp said, it is always others that die.So. Requiem aeternam dona eis domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. [Eternal rest give them, O Lord, and perpetual light may shine upon them.]

Then according to the man who showed his outstretched arm to space He turned around and pointed, revealing all the human race I shook my head and smiled a whisper, knowing all about the place
Are you True-Love, or True-Death?
